    Yes you can, but I don’t believe you can do it via the render queue – you have to go via File > Export. AE also has a ready-made comp preset for web banners (toggle down the preset menu when you make a new comp).

    Here is an earlier post with lots of info.

    To keep swf files small they need to not use raster effects which is almost all the Effects, but as mentioned above there are some that are way cool, like Audio Spectrum as a Stroke substitute.

    Also, as in the tut by Lee you, can use AE Text to make very small swf’s and if you can use wingdings to get custom shapes to animate you can do a lot. Otherwise it’s AI files, solids and Masks.
